The Best Beef & Chicken Deals This Week (5/25 - 5/31)

Barbecue season is upon us! And with the upcoming Holiday on Monday, many stores are having great sales on barbecue supplies, including ground beef (& patties) and chicken. Here's what's happening this week:


Ground Beef

• $1.30/lb - Fresh Market, Stone's Fresh 80% lean patties, sold in 3 lb package ($3.90) Limit 1. Requires in-ad coupon. (Yowser!!)
  
• $1.99/lb - Sunflower Market, 85% lean, all natural (Go HERE for ideas on what to cook using ground beef)

Coupons

• If you're in need of condiments for your upcoming barbecue, check out the $3.00/6 manufacturer's coupon found in the Fresh Market, Dan's and Macey's ads. It's not fabulous, but it's decent if you're in need of those items.
• There are some bacon-wrapped filet coupons HERE (I think Smith's sells them)
• There are some Bar-S hot dog coupons HERE
• There are some Foster Farms chicken or sausage patty coupons HERE (page 8 for me)

Always remember you can pricematch these meat prices at Walmart & Target. Happy barbecuing!

50% Off Clearance @ Hot Topic (Twilight/Eclipse Gear!)

So I know I never shared the details of The Bambina's birth story on this blog, but did I ever mention to you that I went into labor wearing a Twilight t-shirt stretched over my 9-month pregnant belly? Well, I did.


The Bambina was born in November, the day after Twilight New Moon came out. I had a ticket, but needless to say, I did not make it to the movie that night.

But! I had an awesome t-shirt. I had purchased a few t-shirts and a few replicas of Bella's bracelet for my sisters & friends to wear when we all went to see the movie. I purchased them from Hot Topic when they were having a 50% off clearance sale, with a coupon code. And they're having another sale like that one right now.
Take an additional 50% off all clearance at Hot Topic now through May 30th. Plus use code HTA10OFFMY to get $10 off any $50 purchase (through May 28th).

There are quite a few Twilight/Eclipse t-shirts in the clearance section, ranging anywhere from $2 to $5.25 after the discount. Might be a great time to pick some up for the next movie! I'm planning on it. Here's hoping I'm not in labor the next time around. :)

Monday Drugstore Deals

As depressing as Rite Aid's ad is this week, I stopped by this morning anyway, because I wanted to grab some sunscreen for The Bambina, as well as some milk. They were out of milk and their sunscreen deals were just not that great! I couldn't find any Coppertone (BOGO50%) for less than $10.50 a bottle (yikes) and I couldn't find any Banana Boat lip balm to hit the $25 mark.

Sigh.

So I settled for just one bottle, because I needed it.

$7.99 Banana Boat Suncare
$11.24 Unisom
$1.00 Carefree
$1.00 Carefree
$1.00 Carefree
-$3/15 RAQ
-$1 Banana Boat MFQ
-$1 Carefree
-$1 Carefree
-$1 Carefree
-$2 +UP (previous)
= $12.23 + tax

(Also, note that your receipt keeps a tally at the bottom for the buy $25+ suncare/playtex/schick, get $10 +UP. So they can be in separate transactions.)

When I add up the above, it should be $13.23, but the cashier must have scanned one of my coupons in twice, I think? I can't account for it. I'll have to investigate and see if I owe them a dollar. I'm picking up a prescription for The Bambina later today, so I'll settle it up then.

Overall, not a great day. Lets keep our fingers crossed for a better ad next week!
